CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of product roadmaps

Dual-track agile separates discovery (research, prototyping, validation) from delivery (building validated solutions). A discovery roadmap plans what hypotheses will be tested when; a delivery roadmap plans what validated solutions will be built. Both inform each other.

**Why not A:** Discovery and delivery roadmaps are not simply different visual formats presenting the same content. They serve fundamentally different strategic purposes. A discovery roadmap focuses on exploring problems, validating assumptions, and identifying opportunities, while a delivery roadmap focuses on planning and tracking the implementation of validated solutions.

**Why not B:** The distinction between discovery and delivery roadmaps is not based on product maturity. Discovery roadmaps are not limited to new products, nor are delivery roadmaps reserved for mature ones. An established product may use a discovery roadmap to explore new market opportunities, while a new product can have a delivery roadmap once validated features are ready for implementation.

**Why not D:** Discovery and delivery roadmaps are not defined by which team owns them. Both UX and engineering teams can be involved in either type of roadmap. Discovery involves cross-functional collaboration including product, design, and engineering to explore and validate ideas. Delivery similarly requires coordination across teams to plan and execute the implementation work.
